2.  Recharter:
Please complete the recharter questionnaire by next Tuesday, October 18th. Only 12 responses so far.

3.  Popcorn:
How much have you sold?  DId you know that in December the Scoutmaster pie in the face, you get to throw a pie at the Scoutmaster for every $300 you sell!  Last year, there were several Scouts who earned several pies from selling popcorn.  You can always bring in your orders every Scout meeting and pick up the popcorn you sell.  You can also check out popcorn as well.  See Christa for more information about popcorn.

You will be receiving an email from me regarding the recharter.  Since we occasionally change emails and phone numbers, I will be asking for this again for you and your Scout.  I know it is a pain, but with over 100 contacts for both Scouts and Adults, I think this is the best way to help me manage the contact list.  We will be checking in October to see who wants to continue next year.  If you decide to not continue and want to be removed from the mailing list, just reply and I will remove you.  For those continuing, please complete the form.  I would like to have this done by the end of the month.

Creek Sweep October 8th:
Saturday, October 8th will be our annual Creek Sweep.  Please wear old clothes and bring gloves.  You will more than likely get wet and dirty, but you will have fun as we walk the creeks and pick up trash.  You will receive an annual patch for this event.  I need to know if you are coming this Tuesday!  We will meet at the old Brookpark Middle School at 8:30 am.

Three Eagles Shootout October 9th:
Below is the sign up genius.  The cost is $10.  PLC decided no camping on Saturday night.  Be at the church at 7:15.  We will leave at 7:30.  We will arrive back at about 3:00 pm.  Bring your own lunch.  The PLC did not want to plan a lunch so pack your own.  I need to know if you are coming this Tuesday!
October 14-16 Campout
We still don't have much time to plan this event, so bring your ideas to the PLC tonight and let them know!   This campout will be at First Baptist Church on Orders Road in Grove City.  The PLC did not finalize any plans!  What do you want to do?  Let the SPL know!  I need to know this week what your plans are for the campout! Meal plan?  So much that has not been discussed or decided!

NYLT:
If you are a First Class Scout and want to attend NYLT In 2023, please look at the dates and let me know.  Registrations fill up soon.  Normally the spring NYLT dates fill up very quickly.  The spring dates are normally taken in December or January and the summer dates are normally gone in January and February.  Let us know and you will put up a $100 deposit and you will receive the $100 deposit for attending and completing your bolo once you are done with both.  This is a great leadership opportunity for Scouts.

Scouts participating in other Scouting activities:
I strongly encourage Scouts to sign up and go to events, even if we do not go as a Troop.  I have participated in many events that we have signed up for on our own and attended.  You can participate in any events that are offered through our council and/or other councils.  I think these activities are great and if you are able, I encourage you to go and create your own adventure. If you go on your own, please do so knowing that you represent the Troop.  If you are joining another Troop for an event, please let the Scoutmaster know before attending.
